holygels.com website review

16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.

The page has 3,762 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

15 images could be 333 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (jQuery CDN, JSDelivr CDN and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 512 KiB and 69 ms of main-thread time.

About 120 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

About 58 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 2.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Γ”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.1 s).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 164 ms to 173 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Your homepage downloads 16.2 MB in 79 requests on a phone: media 14.1 MB (1), images 1.1 MB (25) and scripts 627 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Luxurious_Christmas_Stocking_Mantel_Display.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.60 g of CO₂e: 552.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

50 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

50 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

Your title is only 9 characters: “Holy Gels”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is 313 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://holygels.com)”.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 256 pages on holygels.com and 34 external pages.

https://us.holygels.com/collections/all-styles, https://us.holygels.com/collections/accessories and https://us.holygels.com/collections/christmas use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
